gcloud compute instances stopINSTANCE_NAMES[INSTANCE_NAMES…] [--async] [--discard-local-ssd[=DISCARD_LOCAL_SSD]] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
gcloud compute instances stopis used to stop a Compute Engine virtual machine. Stopping a VM performs a clean shutdown, much like invoking the shutdown functionality of a workstation or laptop. Stopping a VM with a local SSD is not supported and will result in an API error unless the--discard-local-ssdflag is passed. Stopping a VM which is already stopped will return without errors. - EXAMPLES
-
To stop an instance named
test-instance, run:gcloud compute instances stop test-instanceTo stop an instance named
test-instancethat has a Local SSD, run:gcloud compute instances stop test-instance --discard-local-ssd=TrueUsing '--discard-local-ssd' without a value defaults to True.
- POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
INSTANCE_NAMES[INSTANCE_NAMES…]- Names of the instances to operate on. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
- FLAGS
-
--async- Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--discard-local-ssd[=DISCARD_LOCAL_SSD]- If set to true, local SSD data is discarded.
--zone=ZONE-
Zone of the instances to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to
select a zone (interactive mode only).
gcloudattempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined,gcloudprompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
compute/zonegcloud config set compute/zone ZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
